Panthers Make Cam Newton a 20 Million Dollar Quarterback

As of now, all football fans and especially Carolina Panther fans are aware that their quarterback Cam Newton and the Panthers organization have agreed to on a five year contract extension for 1.3.8 million or 20 plus million for the 5 year agreement. The contract extension and the sum place him in the upper ranks of young quarterbacks and the market value that the Panthers were willing to pay.

According to SPORTSNAUT author Vincent Frank 60 million of Newton’s contract is guaranteed; here are the numbers and some facts regarding Newton’s contract extension.

The $60 million guaranteed ranks Newton second behind Colin Kaepernick of the San Francisco 49ers. Though, it must be noted that Kaepernick’s deal is not fully guaranteed, and allows the 49ers to get out from under it after each season without a cap hit. It remains to be seen how Newton’s guarantees will be structured.

There are other young quarterbacks that are waiting for new contractual deals with their teams so it’s wait and see who and which the next 20 million dollar plus quarterback will be Andrew Luck or Russell Wilson. You can bet all three will get paid based on their numbers and facts as well.
